Excess momentum or excess inertia: Do companies adopt technologies at the right time?✰,✰✰,★,★★

Drawing on the literature on organizational change, technological change, and inertia, this paper explores how the moment that companies choose to initiate a technological change relative to other companies from the same regional and industrial context influences the company's performance. In p...
